Last night the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out in a lavish ceremony at the Nokia Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles, CA which was broadcast on CBS. As I mentioned earlier, Neil Patrick Harris KILLED as Emmy host last night but the awards show was more than just about him (as hard to believe as that may be). Here are a few pictures from the red carpet arrivals at the 2009 Emmy Awards last night:

While there were a lot of pretty people on the red carpet (Alyson Hannigan looked amazing, as did Drew Barrymore) the real focus of the night was on who won what for which TV show. After the jump, check out some photos from the Emmy telecast itself, see some photos of the Emmy winners in the press room and find out who took home those coveted trophies at last night’s Emmy Awards …

HMMMM … despite claiming that the couple are “just friends”, Drew Barrymore met up with former flame Justin Long for a quick bite to eat at the Farmers Market here in LA yesterday. Drew looked like she was trying to go incognito by covering up as much of her head/face as possible … mebbe she was too embarrassed to be seen with the massive hickey that Justin was sportin’ on his neck?

Now, just because Drew was with Justin at lunch and just because he was showing off a pretty heinous-looking hickey on his neck doesn’t necessarily mean that she is responsible for the love bite … but it sure looks suspicious to me. I think it’s great that the couple are spending so much time together again. I loved them when they were together and I really hope they rekindle their romance for real and get back together. While I find hickeys totally unsavory and absolutely unnecessary, I guess I can’t really fault Justin for letting “whoever” leave their mark on him. Get it together guys, we’re all rooting for you!

After breaking off their romantic relationship last July and then suddenly spending a lot of time together more recently, ex-flames Drew Barrymore and Justin Long attended the premiere of her HBO movie Grey Gardens at the Pierre Hotel in NYC last night. While People magazine hints at a romantic reunion for the ex-lovers, Drew tells Extra! that the couple are “just friends” that are spending a lot of time together because they will be working together in a new film this Summer. HMMMM. Here’s a cute pic of the happy couple last night and the opposing viewpoints of their togetherness:

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are not shy with their admiration for one another. “I adore him,” Barrymore, who wore a retro flesh-tone Alberta Feretti gown to the premiere of her HBO movie Grey Gardens, said of Long. “And I thank God that my friend supports me the way he does.” The off-again, on-again pair were affectionate the night of the premiere Tuesday. During the screening, she leaned over her seat to give him a quick smooch. At the movie’s after-party at the Pierre hotel, Long, 30, and Barrymore, 34, posed for photos together. Later inside the hotel, she dragged Long into the dining room while holding his hand and gave him a long embrace, whispering into his ear. Michael Suscy, who directed Grey Gardens, told PEOPLE that during the filming of the movie Barrymore “would correspond with [Justin], but only by writing letters on a typewriter – no modern technology, only technology that her character, Little Edie would have had.” Barrymore … said the old-fashioned letters, which she wrote on an avocado green IBM Selectric typewriter, helped her work through her jitters about the part. “Thank God for him because he was my wonderful outlet, my dear friend throughout the process … I had to understand what isolation was really like.” As for the subject of the letters, “They were about my fears of not being able to pull this character off, this icon, about learning a level of discipline … about facing your fears,” she said. According to Long, Barrymore had nothing to worry about. “I’m so proud and stunned. It’s unbelievable. She lost herself completely. It’s an amazing, beautiful, transformative performance. She’s one of the greats.”

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, sure sounds romantic to me. I mean, yes, ex-lovers can be friends after a break-up but … I dunno. Anyways, here is what Drew said about the time she has been/will be spending with Justin:

Drew was spotted at the “Grey Gardens” premiere with ex-boyfriend Justin Long on Tuesday night. The actress confirmed the two are back together, but only for the movie! She revealed, “I’m going to do a comedy this summer with my dear friend Justin Long and I can’t wait to just laugh.” Drew continued, “He really is [one of the funniest guys I know]. I wanted to do it because I trust him so much.”

It’s funny how friendship can lead back to love, especially in situations where people have to work together. Even if the couple aren’t aware that they might be falling back in love, that’s exactly what could be happening. I have no doubt that Justin is still in love with Drew. I’d bet money on it. Here’s hoping that, one day, Drew and Justin can re-forge the love that they shared just last year. There is something about this couple that I just love … they make a really cute couple, don’t you think?

Well now … what have we here? Could the recent whispers that Drew Barrymore and her ex-boyfriend Justin Long have gotten back together again really be true? Well, if this new photo of the pair enjoying a quiet lunch together at the Farmer’s Market at The Grove over the weekend is any indication than mebbe it is time to celebrate their reunion:

As you may recall, Drew and Justin broke up way back in July of last year after a pretty significant courtship together. Something about the couple always seemed like they were a good fit for one another. Not long after the breakup, Justin was linked to Kirsten Dunst and Drew set her sights on the Gossip Girls guys — but none of that never really seemed right. I’m encouraged that all these months later the couple appear to, at the very least, still be friendly with one another. I’d be happy to see them couple up again. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if anything comes of this supposed reunion. Do y’all like these two together? They look cute together, no?

Entertainment Weekly magazine is reporting that Hollywood actress and movie producer Drew Barrymore is among the folks being considered by Summit Entertainment to direct the third installment of the movie franchise version of the Twilight Saga. Because the theatrical release of The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse has been set for a mere 7 months after the first sequel The Twilight Saga’s New Moon will be released in theaters, a different director will need to be at the helm of the third movie. According to EW, Drew Barrymore is in the running for directing duties:

As Summit Entertainment looks to lock in a director for the third installment of the Twilight series, Eclipse, the company is talking to a select group of directors — including actress-turned-helmer Drew Barrymore, EW has learned. While this news may come as a surprise to some, Barrymore did just finish work on her directorial debut, Whip It! starring Ellen Page. Neither Summit nor Barrymore’s reps would comment for this story.

Interesting. It remains to be seen who else is in this “select group of directors” under consideration but I hope that, like Drew, there are a few female directors in there. As you may or may not know, Drew’s production company made the new Charlie’s Angels movies that those turned out pretty cool. I have no idea what kind of job Drew might do as director of a movie like Eclipse but … I’d be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. It sure does seem like a whole lot of Hollywood folks want to get their fingers in the Twilight Saga movie franchise pie … which kinda sorta worries me. What do y’all think?

Drew Barrymore, who dumped ex-boyfriend Justin Long back in July (and who was just dumped again more recently by Kirsten Dunst), is having a grand ol’ time enjoying the single life. Drew has been bizzy stalking mackin’ on the young hot boys from Gossip Girl and even managed to successfully bag at least one of them! First up, here are pics of Drew with Chace Crawford last Saturday night as the pair made their way to the official Saturday Night Live afterparty. Note how Drew was careful to lay hands on dear Chace so that he couldn’t stray too far away from her:

HMMM … while we can’t be absolutely sure that Drew was able to get her hooks into this young’n we do have photographic proof that she did manage to get lucky with … wait for it, wait for it … Ed Westwick. After the jump, check out a scandalously awesome photo of Drew suckin’ face with Ed at the Bowery Electric after the Kings of Leon show at Webster Hall on Tuesday night …

Well Drew, I guess he’s really not that into you … after an 11-month courtship, Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have called it quits on their relationship and have decided to go their separate ways. They’re dunzo, y’all:

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have broken up, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. “I can confirm the split with no additional comment,” said the spokesperson. Barrymore, 33, and Long, 30, were first linked in August of last year, when they were spotted at the Los Angeles hotspot the Chateau Marmont. By November, the pair – who costar together in He’s Just Not That Into You – were getting serious. They spent a PDA-packed holiday in Connecticut, including Thanksgiving with Long’s family in his hometown of Fairfield. In the following months, the couple seemed inseparable, partying in Vegas, celebrating Barrymore’s birthday with Cameron Diaz in Los Angeles and hiking in Hollywood. In the March issue of Vogue, Barrymore said of the relationship, “My cheeks hurt, I’m so happy.”

According to a source that talked to US Weekly, the couple remain friends. This is bummer news … I really like Justin Long. He seems like a really nice guy. I’m not sure I’m all that surprised that things didn’t work out tho, the woman was once married to Tom Green … something must be a bit off with her, right? In any event, I wish them both well as they go their separate ways. I feel bad for the Mac Guy … I’m afraid he might’ve peeked with Drew.
